(For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.)

This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead.

So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it.

So after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the saying that Jesus had spoken.

I tell you the solemn truth, a time is coming – and is now here – when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

Now a large crowd of Judeans learned that Jesus was there, and so they came not only because of him but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.
